Wild fish and farmed fish seem to be distinguishable because their overall body shapes are different. Wild fish live in the wild, need to hunt by themselves, and have great pressure to survive, so they may not be full every time, and they will appear slender and small in size. However, farmed fish often grow very big because they provide feed at regular intervals.

Because cultured fish live in still water, there is a certain amount of silt at the bottom, so in order to better integrate into the environment, the color will be darker and the scales will be thicker.

Wild fish don't eat enough, so the fat content is relatively low, especially in abdominal cavity, while the feed fed by farmed fish is nutritious and sufficient, so the fat content is relatively high.
